'Without my camera'
Turns out Carpundit helped the elderly driver get out of the burning taxi that was photographed and posted yesterday on Adam's site. Thanks and congrats to Carpundit. Too bad about the camera. ... Is it my imagination or are the conditions of Boston cabs getting crappier by the minute? Also yesterday, in a far less dramatic incident, I was standing on the sidewalk on Harrison Avenue, when I was jolted out of my usual Walter Mitty smoking-break reverie by a loud metalic banging sound coming down Herald Street. The commotion stopped when a cab pulled over to the side. The driver got out, inspected the cab, looked underneath it, and then shrugged his shoulders. A few minutes later, a hotel van came to pick up the stranded passenger in the back seat. I didn't stick around to see what happened to the pathetic junker. ...
Update -- It's Walter Mitty, not Middy. Changed it. ...
